That's the first quarterly shortfall since China's foreign exchange regulator began compiling the data in 1998, which could be linked to the impact of "de-risking" by Western countries from China amid growing geopolitical tensions.  ( 32 min )

(Reuters) -Apple on Thursday reported quarterly sales and profit that beat Wall Street expectations, with iPhone sales up 2.8% and in line with Wall Street expectations, helping offset large drops in Mac and iPad sales. The Cupertino, California, company has navigated a global smartphone slump better than many of its rivals but faces an uneven economic recovery in China, a key market for Apple. Apple said sales for the fiscal fourth quarter ended Sept. 30 fell roughly 1% to $89.50 billion, with nearly $1 billion more in services revenue than Wall Street expected, helping the overall total beat analyst estimates of $89.28 billion, according to LSEG data.  ( 34 min )
